The Mid 60’s...what a time to be a NASCAR fan.
It was such a better time in America.
It sure was, a great time in America!!!
It had its ups and downs. We had finished one war and was just getting into another one. But if I could I'd get on board that Back to The Past time traveler
If you were white 😂
You got that right
Men were men and women were women
These where the last of the REAL stock car races!...every car , and man for himself!!!...THAT was REAL competition!.....no " cookie cutter" ,generic race cars, and massive sponsored high tech!...it was the driver and the car, on their own!
The jump from the 50s to the 60s is amazing.
Went with friends, case of beer, vienna sausages, saw two fights...and the race, good ol' time.
They truly were Stock Cars. I think the 64 Plymouth and Dodge are the sharpest looking Stock Cars of all time. I don’t remember seeing Pearson in anything but a Ford before watching this race.
And people ask how I can drive with my arm out the window smoking a cigarette & tipping a beer, I was a wheel man, now in 2020 if I drive over 100 mph I lose my license, damm progress.
After five hundred miles of driving real cars that fast,those guys had to be exhausted. Great video, thanks for posting this.
The year I went into the USAF, amazing what has gone on since then.
Very cool! The sound effects during the crashing is hysterical!😄
One driver noticeably absent was Glen Fireball Roberts,tragically killed earlier in the year.1964 was a tragic year for racing,but also the beginning of huge safety advances to come.
In this same RUclips channel with the 1970 Southern 500, when Cale Yarborough's Mercury loses control and rides the rail barrier, no fire danger, all thanks to the safety advancements with fuel cells that were made after the 1964 season.
@@bloqk16 Yes,the fuiel cells were the biggest improvement in racing after that.
Yea. Cotton Owens was the first to put door bars in his stockcars.
Back then the cars were real stock cars. Now they are modified chassis with a shell made to look similar to a real car.
No play-off, no bump draft = True racing
Theyre alot safer at least. Back then youd get get thrown around like a rag doll.
Bull crap it was so nice in the 70's watching real stock car racing or in person. Freeport raceway in N. Y. L. I. My father used to take me every weekend and demolishing Derby after the racing , AWSOME ... Old school times
Today’s NASCARS are a result of the IROC series.
Richard Petty s car was the best car by far
This is absolutely fantastic. Amazing. Its like watching Dukes of Hazard in HD; but waaay better.
I love these
The only NASCAR I watch
I like the first minute.. radio grill is still in the dash, minimal helmet protection, and wearing short sleeve shirt. Notice the play in the steering wheel going thru the turns?
(Boomhauer voice) Dang man, what's Darrell Derringer doing out there??
Crazy race.
I attended my first Nascar race in 85 at the Southern 500. Yup Bill won a million and I picked Cale Yarbrough for out car race pool. I got the chance to go and a free ticket volunteering to be the designated driver. Cale finished second. What I remembered most about my first race was seeing a yellow and blue Chevy with no 3 on door sliding around turns 2 and 4. I asked who the driver was and was told Dale Earnhardt. I said from now on that's the car and driver I'll pull for ( already a race fan) he s a driving fool.
Yup that he was.
Those were , the good Ole days.
1964 introduction of the 426 HEMI to NASCAR. 400HP on the hood, yeah, right!
I was thinking the same thing. Even the "street" HEMI in '66 was conservatively reated at 425 HP..... and this is the "race" HEMI, banned after this season. 400 HP, right.
@@michaelspraggins5419 You see Buck Baker with the new HEMI as well, tuned by Ray Fox...beat that! Maybe 600HP???
@Alan Wood I'm sure, at least that much. Even the other brands with their horsepower rating on the hoods were not for real. I don't know who NASCAR thought they were fooling.... I guess the general public, because car people knew those HP ratings were a joke. But then there was that "Race on Sunday, sell on Monday" thinking by the auto manufacturers. Maybe those were showroom, stock HP numbers for the average Joe customer.
@@michaelspraggins5419 Yeah, street HEMI 2 years later were 425HP advertised. Street racers knew that they were a lot more than that, with a few tweaks in the driveway, you could get even more. The Elephant was the king of the street. Very cool.
Nice to see Richard petty dominant for most of the race
If you want to see the race, it's here: 9:17
I could just taste that ice cold RC cola !
Look at Johnny Reb, so cool!!!
1:11 cool looking shades for '64.
Did you notice no goofy burnout after the race?
Nice department store dress shirts for qualifying.
And pleated slacks lol
Shaun Clifton LOL! Still laughing at the perfect retort a day later. Dressed to impress while stinking’ em up with cigarettes. While qualifying. Saw a lot of that in USAC stocks. McCluskey, Nelson were seen qualifying with smoke dangling from mouth at Milwaukee Mile routinely..
Great safety equipment a t-shirt and a leather football helmet. These guys are tough.
Jr Johnson really took it up the tailpipe..!!
First year of the 426 hemi I believe.... yeah, life was so much better back then... I mean people had better morals and less self absorbed.
Asbestos carpeting...what could possibly go wrong? 🤔
WOW 🏁 ⚰🚨
Great time in US history. Petty always one of my favorite drivers.
best era for cool cars...
Moon pies. What a time to be alive.
Pearson smoking a cigarette driving!!!
GOD BLESS Jimmy Pardue. Sadly Jimmy lost his life during a tire test. All them drivers were Giants.
Do you know what Pardue was drinking in the pits at 16:41 ?
Would have been a thrill to be in the Petty garage building that car.....
I was expecting to see that flag....everywhere....
I like the 007-like music
Those real cars!
I love the sound effects on the spinouts
6:37 The Holly Farms Poultry Galaxie seen here was used in the Movie Red Line 7000.
What an event: we have a grandpa who won, who makes out with the cheerleader more than he did with his own wife while she cheers him on, people smoking in the pits, a confederate flag for a trophy, racers who crash-out have to dodge traffic to get back to the infield, fans rushing the racetrack, what else did I miss…
donuts, no victory donuts and showing off. "ok, so I won, guess I better go to the ramp and see the Mrs.."
You about covered it brother. NASCAR in it's heyday. Too bad it doesn't learn from it's past. It's all about the money today.
@@gregorygolden1296 These were real driver's back 50 year's ago unlike the sissy's today in their AC jellybeans. Nothing about them are stock car's anymore
I love the open face helmets; and the lack of corporate logos plastered everywhere.
Awesome....nice trap door
Some used a timing light that made the tire look like it wasn't moving to look at the tread....high tech......
Great race 😊
That was really good
My dad has a 1964 Plymouth Fury wagon.
Very cool.
Darrell Deringer spun out TWICE before making a full LAP
13:07 Can't believe how they can sit in the Pits without Urgency.
Lucky folks back in the day. Great racing... Not like today's cry babies.
It's a shame that the cars aren't stock anymore, but when they hit 200mph in the late 60s, something had to be done regarding safety. The way those cars folded up in a crash, they needed those full roll cages.
I have a older friend who was there in '57 when Bobby Meyers was killed. They were in the infield right across from where it happened.(Jim) said they could feel the percussion of the impact. He said it was a terrible sight.
These cars were beautiful they could still make them like this and be safe, it's just like NHRA the more round like a egg the better 🤮
Tiny lost some weight in that picture
All American built cars only.
Ford had a difficult time in 1964, as the Plymouths were smaller than the Fords, and the Chrysler Hemi engine gave both Plymouth and Dodge an advantage.
I recall from reading the Leo Levine history book on Ford racing: 'The Dust and the Glory,' that after the 1964 Daytona 500, Ford had considered stretching the wheelbase of the Ford Fairlane by two inches to make it NASCAR legal, then stuff its 427 engine in it.
A certain manufactured run would have to be made available for sale at Ford dealers for street use.
Fairlanes were such a small car for its time, that powered by a 427 could be downright scary to drive to wring-out the performance on the streets, given the primitive suspension and drum brakes of that era.
Absolutely loved NASCAR then. I can't stand them today !!
Love to watch but the ads every 60 seconds ruined it. Oh well...greed wins again....
Michael Egan yeah, hey, worst I’ve seen. Must have been 15 ads for this clip.
Yeah, ScrewTube puts them on whether it is a monetized channel or not and they are not even car related.
Download ad blocker and you won't have to deal with them
@@purpletang21 Thanks! I didn't know I could do that.
4:04 If an asbestos floor mat isn't dangerous enough for your health, think about all those old time cigarette smoking nascar drivers there were dropping butts on those asbestos floors. And you gotta love that trick floor to check your tire wear, I could imagine the fines having that thing in the NextGen car. God bless them all for racing actual stock cars, my dad had a 1965 2 door Galaxie XL 500 that was big and beautiful and I couldn't imagine going over 130 MPH at Darlington with 43 other cars like that with big blocks, some with Hemis!
3:06 FE Ford 427!
T.J. ............427 hi riser , trying to go against those elephant moters !!!!!
Would love to see any of the prima donna drivers today , go out and drive these cars to the lap times and lap speeds that the drivers of this era put up in these cars ....... they were 10 times more talented in this era ..... because they were true race drivers ........ drivers of this era had to try real hard to not make a mistake , as the chance of getting badly injured or killed was very high .....
Nice
How cool does that sound at 7:37
freekin awesome video
So they had Buck Bakers original winner on display even back then.
A drivers track? Whaaaaat? In car cam has me questioning that
BRING BACK THE DOOR SLAMMERS!
It's awesome how they raced "real" cars back then, but let's face it, folks. It's all about safety.
NASCAR was living it's best life here. We tend to ruinate everything good. Why?
I like the music
Back when rebel flags ruled and no Bubba Wallace race baiters
@ 6:19 “One look at Herb’s face tells everything” damn Hemi’s.
thank GOODNESS Kyle Busch wasn't there to screw things up !
Paved roads were rare then.
Asbestosis ain't a problem in the in 60s
Cool
Just wondering how would a 1964 Ferrari 330P, Porsche 904 or AC Cobra fair against these NasCar race vehicles?
They'd probably do good but are those STOCK cars? Built at a factory for consumers?
The AC Cobra isn't it. I don't think the 330P is either.
Those are hand built race cars.
These are stock cars, built at a factory, that have strict rules on the limits of modifications.
In any case I think the biggest enemy of the Ferrari and Porsche would be heat and durability down in North Carolina on that track.
Foreign drivers were starting to race in NASCAR at this time, I think. But they had to use these cars because America was the only country making cars with big V8s in a large, safe chassis.
You weren't going to see VW or Fiat or BMW enter cars in these races.
Hey everybody, I have not looked at all the replies, but check out Pearson's number, look where it's position'ed! Does that look familiar to today's positioning of numbers? And for what it's worth, somewhere between loathe, and detest, I despise it! 🌧️
on truck tires 🤯🤯🤯
Love how Buck Baker made out with the Southern 500 chick in front of his wife!
And how many cars n trucks on the infield and out in the parking lot ended up in the Bone yard ?
2:00 look at the "steering wheel play" !!!
A hemi in 64 ????
Chrysler was building hemi's in the late 40's . In 64 they came out with the Race Hemi .. that literally blew everything off of the track .. so much that Nascar completely outlawed it in 65 .. in 66 the street hemi came out and Chrysler was allowed to race with that engine again ...
Nascar used to be real. Real stock cars and real southerners.
No power steering needed.
Where did these machines go?
Those cars, if they stayed intact at the end of the season, were sold-off to others that used them in the feeder NASCAR series, such as 'Late Model Sportsman,' or ended up as short-track super-modified in regional race circuits.
There was no preserving those vehicles for posterity, as the car owners needed the cash for financing the following year's race season.
I based the above from reading many years of 'Vintage Motorsport' magazine, which features pictorials of fully restored race cars from the 1960s. Part of the narrative in the pictorials is a backgrounder on the history of the race car after its glory season; which had them being sold, modified, raced, many-time crashed, and left to gather dust in a barn or storage shed for many years afterwards.
Just missing the Moonshine
This was back when the manufacturer was the subject, and racing was fun. Nowadays, it is a driver race and all the cars are built in other countries. Goodbye to the American race.
Nah your just xenophobic or racist
There for a good moment I forgot problems.
Racing and America in general was so much better when men had their own money in the game
21:50 that ain't his wife,she doesn't seem to mind either
Mopar domination!
The irony of putting a loser flag on a winning machine. Great stuff! Thanks for the upload
Why is there so much play on the steering wheel?
Probably because they were using stock steering components that could have been worn; the track was probably oily, as seal gaskets weren't that good to prevent engine oil leaks; and the tires back then were bias-ply, which didn't have the sticking force to the pavement that later generation of radial tires have.
Ever drive a non-power steered car? I do every day. The ratio is a lot slower on them. Almost 2 more revolutions lock to lock. So ya have to work the wheel more.
@@bloqk16 no power steering.
I like how part of the URL for this video is "UwU".
Don’t get why dodge and Honda have not joined nascar .
It's all about dollars and cents. The execs at both companies weighs the financial investment to enter NASCAR, and wonder if they'll get a return of investment with increased vehicular sales from that investment.
Honda was always an upscale manufacturer when it came to motorsports, having been in Formula 1 Grand Prix racing since the mid-1960s.
Dodge did nascar at one point and Honda doesn’t do any redneck shit
That confederate flag looks good.
A Beautiful sight indeed.
@@shaunclifton5281 if your a racist of course
@@milkdud0 Piss on you if you don't like it.
OK Grandpa, here’s your pills and off to bed…
9:15
God he kissed the girl that wasn’t his wife and I remember when you would die to kiss a woman that beautiful.
Lmfao incel
Buck got his kiss right in front of the wife
Sex was safe,motercycle were dangerous..sure were some of the very BEST TIMES❤..
Petty was really good at Darlington, but The Lady in Black sure wasn't good to him. The King could have easily won 7 at Darlington, like he did The 500, but absolutely alway's had bad luck there.
I mean, six years after this, he had that bad accident where he hit the inside wall, flipped a couple of times and dislocated his shoulder. It could’ve been so much worse since his arm and head were hanging out the window cause there was no window net.
@@leahryan5560 Very true, he was very lucky in that 1970 Darlington crash, as well as the 82 Pocono crash & certainly in his 88 Daytona 500 crash, but his racing luck at Darlington was for the most part, just awful.
Squirrel!!
